Your lack of AP confuses me...

[quote=DEWO]AP sorakas are too squishy and not that viable as support-offtankish ones. That is why ppl dont play AP sorakas. And they are doing a good job :P[/quote]

[quote=Ya1232]I tried this out in a few games and there was one time where this doesnt make sense that you all say she is squishy. Granted its not at lvl 30 with full runes, but I tried out the AP thing. I had 3 champs on me and I just stood there healing myself as Miss fort was in the lane with me killing them 1 by 1. Id get low and pop wish and just stand there spamming stars and infuse with heals. Never thought to myself, I should get out of here Im going to die. Even after the game they had said how dumb it was that I didnt drop. Is there better than AP build? Sure, is there worse? ofcourse. Always will be. Just because it doesnt work for you doesnt mean it cant work for others.[/quote]

[quote=Zeprido]I've brought this up before in other topics and comments on champion builds. Champions who have high AP ratio's are made so that they don't require as much AP as low ratio champions to be effective. This lets them itemize into support or survivability letting them be effective for longer periods of time.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]Which is the exact reason why the people who build 0 AP are doing something seriously wrong. I get why the AP ratios are so high, but you still should be building some AP (even if it's not very much).[/quote]

[quote=Jebus McAzn]That's why most Soraka get something like a Deathcap. The reason why AA doesn't work is because it's also reliant on other items and you won't need anything besides that Deathcap, really.[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]What about a Rod of Ages? You're talking about being tanky...that is like the AP tank item...[/quote]

[quote=Temzilla][quote=The_Nameless_Bard] What about a Rod of Ages? You're talking about being tanky...that is like the AP tank item... [/quote] Most sorakas i've ever seen, and i've seen some amazing ones. ONLY get deathcap. They get deathcap, a boat load of wards, and boots for the move speed. With proper positioning, you don't need to be tanky.[/quote]

[quote=SixSonatas](One or at MOST two) Philos, (Mostly) Kages, Deathcap, Shoes, Wards (S&V), Oracles. That makes up what Soraka buys. Rare cases Aegis if no one else on the team gets it. /endthread[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I'm not saying you need to be tanky. Several people have made the excuse that AP Soraka is too squishy, but there's a plethora of tank-y items that have AP... If you can afford them, why not buy them?[/quote]

[quote=dadde]There is alot of tanking about what is best for Soraka so why not work off a build to discuss it. I will write down a build that works for me, it gives me wins in 70-90% of solo queue games. Give your 2 cents. -Meki pendant and Sight ward -Kage's lucky pick -Kage's lucky pick -Tear of the Goddess -Boots of Lucidity Anyone agree or disagree on this opening build? Gives Mp5 to start then Gp10 and AP then your mana item followed by a CDR item. obvisiously at this point your squishy but you have a good foundation set up for the rest of the game.
